Trent Alexander-Arnold did not address the media after Liverpool’s Premier League title-clinching victory on Sunday, and now the reason has become clear.
Liverpool secured their record 20th league crown with a dominant 5–1 comeback win over Tottenham at Anfield, overturning an early deficit to seal the title in emphatic fashion with four games remaining in Arne Slot’s debut season in charge.
While Liverpool also won the Premier League in 2020, that triumph was overshadowed by the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning fans were unable to witness Jordan Henderson lift the trophy in person.
This time, the atmosphere was electric, with joyous celebrations taking place inside and outside the stadium. Although the official trophy presentation has yet to occur, Liverpool players and staff still celebrated the moment with supporters.
Following the match, Slot, along with several Liverpool stars including captain Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah, spoke to the media. However, Alexander-Arnold was notably absent from interviews.
The right-back’s future remains uncertain, with his contract nearing its end and persistent rumors linking him with a move to Real Madrid — making him the only key Liverpool player currently facing unresolved contract talks.

Despite ongoing rumors suggesting he could be headed to Real Madrid, Alexander-Arnold chose to remain silent on the matter. American broadcaster Peacock reported that he had been deliberately kept away from the media and would not be available for interviews.
So, what did Alexander-Arnold do after Liverpool’s title triumph? The 26-year-old, who scored the decisive goal against Leicester the previous week, had a special moment with the Liverpool fans. Academy teammate Curtis Jones led him toward the Kop, where supporters chanted his name in celebration.
Alexander-Arnold acknowledged the crowd with applause and touched the spot where his badge would typically be, while his shirt proudly displayed ‘Champions 24/25’ in gold lettering.
